Music & Lyrics

Clarification: not the movie. Although I have to say that the film, starring the terribly terrible Hugh Grant, and the somewhat dopey Drew Barrymore (not to be confused with Drew Carey...had a really hard time with that one for awhile, just because their names sound so similar), is HILARIOUS because of the music video in the opening credits, which may be viewed here. Seriously, hilarious.

Anyway, so recently I wrote a song. A rather simple song, but decent. The lyrics go like this:

My heart was shuttered and I walked along the street, head down
I was trying to decide whether to try to fly or stay on the ground
To stay safe on the curbside or to give myself a new start
And then I stumbled off the sidewalk and fell into the path of my heart

Where are you? I've been searching for you
Where are you? I've been looking for you
Where are you? I've been waiting for so long
to find you so I can belong with you

My path to you is set like a story in a fairy-tale book
I want a love to fill my whole heart, not just the breakfast nook
My eyes and heart are open and I'm starting to see color
Life was dull and grey before but now I know I want you and no other

chorus

Sometimes I wonder if I'll know you when I first see your face
Or if I'll bump into you one day showing off my lack of grace
Until the day I find you I will daydream of your smile
Hope you're also searching for me or I'll be in this sad state for awhile

I'm going to perform at Rocktoberfest tomorrow night. There will be video of the performance forthcoming.
